Taylor Swift box office controversy

When Eras Tour tickets went on sale, there was unprecedented demand. Prior to the on-sale date, fans could request a “verified fan” code, which was Ticketmaster’s attempt to prevent bots from buying tickets. A raffle-style drawing was held, which distributed only a select number of presale codes for fans to purchase tickets.

Despite hundreds of thousands of fans NO after receiving the codes and being placed on a “waiting list,” Ticketmaster still stalled as hordes of Swifties flocked to the site on the November 15 pre-sale date. Millions of people tried to participate in the sale at once, causing the site to crash. Live Nation’s president later revealed that 14 million fans were attempting to register simultaneously, despite Ticketmaster only expecting 1.5 million based on the codes distributed.

Ticketmaster was forced to cancel the regular sale of the show due to a lack of remaining tickets. Thousands of fans were unable to get tickets to the tour, prompting outrage and backlash against Ticketmaster. On Nov. 18, Taylor took to her Instagram story to address the situation. She specifically called Ticketmaster about not being able to handle demand for the situation despite him making sure she would be covered.

“It goes without saying that I am extremely protective of my fans,” Taylor wrote. “We’ve been doing this together for decades, and over the years I’ve brought home many elements of my career. I SPECIFICALLY did this to improve the quality of my fan experience, only doing it with my team, who care about my fans as much as I do. It’s really hard for me to trust an external entity with these relationships and loyalties, and it’s painful for me to just watch mistakes happen without recourse. There are a myriad of reasons why people have had a hard time getting tickets and I’m trying to figure out how this situation can be improved in the future. I’m not going to apologize to anyone because we asked, multiple times, if they could handle this kind of request and they assured us they could. It’s really amazing that 2.4 million people got tickets, but it really pisses me off that so many of them feel like they went through multiple bear attacks to get them. And for those who couldn’t get tickets, all I can say is that my hope is to provide more opportunities for all of us to come together and sing these songs. Thanks for wanting to be there. You have no idea how much that means.

The same day, Ticketmaster apologized for the fiasco in a statement on its website. The company specifically apologized to Taylor and his fans, while also trying to explain how things got out of hand. Ticketmaster included stats to show how many people were logging into the site to buy tickets, and explained how this astronomical number was different than they’ve experienced in the past. “Historically, about 40% of [verified] fan [with presale codes] actually show up and most buy an average of 3 tickets,” the publication explained. “About 1.5 million [of 3.5 million who signed up] people received codes to participate in the sale on the 52 dates.

The post continued, “This time, the staggering number of bot attacks, as well as uncoded geeks, drove unprecedented traffic to our website, with a total of 3.5 BILLION system requests.” The company has also assured fans that it is “always working to improve the ticketing experience.”

In January 2023, Ticketmaster/Live Nation faced a Senate hearing to determine whether their monopoly on the ticketing industry had led to this controversy. During the hearing, the Live Nation CEO apologized again to Taylor and his fans. “We have to do better and we will do better,” he insisted, though Associated press. Ticketmaster’s superiors were questioned by the Senate during the hearing, with many senators even excerpting Taylor Swift’s song lyrics to make their points. Whether or not this hearing will have any effect on the company’s performance remains to be seen.
